I sold my 555 but miss the lofi compressor effect. Can anyone help me identify a software or hardware alternative. Least of all there must be a chain of vsts that capture the essence. Its the dynamics I like more than any filtering or bit reduction. Whatever it was applied to would go loud and really in your face. It would also breathe so when the drums dropped out, the bass would fade a bit louder and visa versa.

hey. thanks v much for the info. I knew somebody had to have modelled it. That vulf is expensive though. I would rather buy another sp-555 than pay $150 for a plugin! Plus i need it as a 32bit VST. I think I am going to try fx2100 here

yeah haha it is expensive. i don't use plugins but came across it the other day.you could even meet the price point halfway between the vulf and the 555 and get a 303. heaps of other nice effects on it and it samples at a lower quality that gives even more character.

while we're on the topic..i just copped a 555 the other day and i can't really figure out what ctrl2 does for the lofi comp effect besides 4 notches of loudness.manual says its a filter...? pretty vague... any of you figured it out?

been using it for a few years now and to my knowledge it seems like it controls the threshold of compression and ctrl3 controls wet/dry. making ctrl2 does make it louder but it smushes everything together too gets kinda out of control

that makes sense. weird that they call it a filter with 4 notches though..cheers magicsean!
